I have synthesized graphene oxide by following modified hummers method. in PXRD, for a gaphene oxide, generally peak appered around 2(theta)= 11 degree. Eventhough graphite peak also appeared at 26 degree (002) , some of them inicate graphene oxide(GO) peak as (002) or (001). attachment of functional groups definitly will increase the graphene interlayer spacing and shifting peak to lower end in the diffractogram. but how can we assign a plane to graphene oxide?. so, what is the best way to explain the origin of graphene oxide peak as well as suitable plane ? (001) or something else ?
Hi Shasika Panamaldeniya
As you said the attachment of any functional group will increase the graphene interlayer spacing and shifting peak to lower end in the diffractogram or vice versa. The best way to assign a peak from the XRD graph is to compare the result with a standard JCPDS data file. I can suggest the above from my side.

How is it 001, if possible kindly suggest some authentic articles for this.
